The building

Heritage-protected sunset views across Black Mountain and Telstra Tower provide a calm and enduring outlook, while the wide northern frontage, framed by an established canopy, brings natural light and shade. To the east, views across Braddon’s urban landscape, with Mount Ainslie beyond, add depth and a strong sense of place. Together, the building’s position and outlook create a comfortable, well-connected living environment shaped by light, space and its surroundings.

The façade has been designed to reflect the quality and presence expected of a building in such a prominent location. At ground level, inviting entranceways, transparent shopfronts and carefully considered materials encourage activity and engagement, responding to Braddon’s character and scale. Above, the architectural language becomes more formal, addressing the Northbourne Avenue approach through a series of proportionally balanced cuboid forms across the building’s elevations.

Expressed spandrels introduce depth and rhythm to the façade while also providing a layer of privacy, reducing direct sightlines from the street to the apartments above. Materials have been selected for durability and longevity, ensuring the building will age gracefully and remain a considered addition to this key city gateway.
